İletişim teknolojilerinin siyasal iletişim süreci ve kamusal alanda önemli bir yeri vardır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, yeni iletişim teknolojileri ile siyasal iletişim süreci ve kamusal alan arasındaki ilişkiyi tarihsel bir süreç içinde tartışmaktır. Yeni iletişim teknolojileri, özellikle de internet, kamusal alan ve iletişim araştırmaları üzerinde önemli bir yere sahiptir ve ana akım siyasal iletişim araştırmaları ve çalışmaları alanına dâhil olmaktadır.

Yeni iletişim teknolojileri, iyi işleyen bir siyasal iletişim süreci için kendi içerisinde yeni potansiyelleri barındırdığı gibi dezavantajları da barındırmaktadır. Bu çerçevede çalışma, yeni iletişim teknolojilerinin kamusal alan ve siyasal iletişim ile ilgili avantaj ve dezavantajlarına ve bunların birbirleri arasındaki ilişkilere odaklanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın ilk kısmı, siyasal iletişim ve siyasal katılım için de önemli olan bazı kamusal alan kavramlarına kısaca değinmiştir. Daha sonra tartışma, siyasal iletişim ve yeni medyadaki bazı ana temaları ele almıştır. Bundan sonra çalışma, online kamusal alanda müzakere verimliliğine ve siyasal iletişimin postmodern yönlerine odaklanmıştır. Son olarak çalışma, müzakereci bir kamusal alanın nasıl kurulabileceğini yeni medya üzerinden tartışmakta ve online siyasal iletişim ve tartışmaların özünün kavranmasında ortak akıl kavramının ayırıcı önemini ortaya koyan bir öneri sunmaktadır. Abstract Keywords The aim of this study is discuss to relation between new communication teknologies and political communication process and public sphere in a historical process. Communication tecnologies have a important role in political communication process and public sphere. The theme of new communication tecnologies, especially internet, have a persistent place on the public sphere and communication researches and it is going into the mainstream of political communication researches and studies. Well-functioning political communication process contribute a reliable public sphere. New communication tecnologies have new potentials to well-functioning political communication process and by the way it has disadvantages too.

Then the discussion had been addressed some centrically themes in the political communication and new media. There after the study had been focused how negotiation rendement in the online public sphere in postmodern adjacencies of political communication. Finally, the study had been discussed that can establish a deliberative public sphere on the new communication tecnologies or can't. In this context conclusion suggests that the concept of common mind offers an disjunctive way to comprehend the substance of online political communication and discussions. so, the attributes of this affect (Dahlgren, 2005, p. 147). While the technological construction of society is a longstanding topic, many researchers have recently identified the active roles of software programs and platforms in constructing communication tecnologies especially internet-based social spaces (Geiger, 2009, p. 3). Such discussions become unavoidably framed by the general international consensus, emerging since the early 1990s, that the hope is often expressed that the internet will somehow have a positive impact on consultation mechanism and help to construct common mind between all social walks (Dahlgren, 2005, p. 147). The internet can be considered to be one of the most important device in late-term communication and at the same time it's one of the most important device in political communication process, which serves as a meeting place for global 'public sphere' and construct "public opinion" each individual can have direct or semi-direct access to a global forum where they are able to express their arguments without mediation, selection or censorship (Kazi, 2011, p. 173). In this context this study's aim is discuss to relation between new communication teknologies and political communication process and public sphere in a historical process. As methodology, literature search had been used in this study. In this context the first part of this study concisely had gone around public sphere notion, which important for political communication and participation too. Then the discussion had been addressed some centrically themes in the political communication and new media. Thereafter the study had been focused how negotiation rendement in the online public sphere in postmodern adjacencies of political communication. Finally, the study had been discussed that can establish a deliberative public sphere on the new communication tecnologies or can't. In this context it suggests that the concept of common mind offers an disjunctive way to comprehend the substance of online political communication and discussions. This study in general has attempted to address the relationship between communication technologies, political communication and the public sphere. When we look over this relation we can see that there is a close relationship between these areas. Communication and communication tecnologies are central to the politics and public spheres in a historical process. In this context new information and communication technologies nearly are influencing all spheres of social life in late-term society is of course not news, but the culturel, economical and political realms too. However new communication tecnologies have advantages and disadvatages about public sphere and political communication and relations between each others. Communication tecnologies have a important role in political communication process and public sphere. New communication tecnologies, especially internet, have a persistent place on the public sphere and communication too. Well-functioning political communication process contribute a reliable public sphere. New communication tecnologies have new potentials to wellfunctioning political communication process and by the way it has disadvantages too. Considering the late-term societies have advantages and disadvantes to construct public opinion in a large public sphere. There are very much communication devices to connect each others and communication possibilities are easier and cheaper in the new communication tecnologies. So political participation, interactive communication, extending and a deliberative basis for the public sphere is possible with the new communication tecnologies in a number of ways. New coommunication tecnologies expansion process is very important to access information, political participation, exchanges of ideas as enhancing, civil society and have provided the rise of social movements. For social movements this means that their ideals can be spread faster to more people, which in turn widens the opportunity for social and political change. The horizontal communication, which is provided via the new communication tecnologies, encourages social movements to move more easily and enhancing participation. However these devices presents a cacophony at the same time and it is possible to effect destabilisation and vitiation of political communication process. Infollution, manipulation and cyber attacts are easier with the new communication tecnologies. New communication devices are not completely uncontrolled, they significantly controlled by the governments and service provider companies. So there is a rivalry between goverments and international service provider companies too. Whilst strong governments and states can regulate and restriction to service provide companies movement areas and policies, weak governments and states don't a significantly affect on the companies. This situation shows that there are still significant structural problems about a well-functioning political communication process and common mind although new communication tecnologies, especially internet, have advantages to construct common mind in a large public sphere. New communication tecnologies are not like a vertical communication channels between government and citizen. The citizen can communicate horizontal, vertical and diagonal via these new tecnologies. That means the communicate, exchange information, ideas, documents etc. are very easier than before these new communication tecnologies. For this reason new communication tecnologies advanteges should use for reveal the common mind.
